According to the reviews & shop sales person ,it is the best in its class.But the only problem is battery backup. Backup will be better if you use NiMh batteries instead of normal Alkaline AA Batteries.

When it comes to digital camera, I have no doubt with Canon, regardless of model, it is always competitive, reliable and perfect gadget for photography. Most of our guest in albuquerque hotels, usually carries Canon.
